Chapter 579: Chapter 579 Guan Yue’s Apology
Li Yufei curved her lips into a slight smile: “Li Cheng, I’m only giving you these two options, now, how will you choose?”
Li Cheng: “Li Yufei, you’re ruthless! You actually use this kind of tactic against me.”
Li Yufei said: “I have already given you enough dignity. Fifty million, Li Cheng, do you think you’re worth this fifty million? If you say our marriage was a business deal, you’d also come out ahead with no loss. I just want you to promise me one thing: from now on, you won’t appear in front of Junjun, disturbing his life. Also, take good care of your daughter yourself, and in this life, you’ll be considered a man.”
She paused for a moment, and then, with deep meaning, said: “Li Cheng, you’re so smart, you should know what you ought to choose, right? An end with dignity, or…”
Li Yufei lightly tapped her fingertip on the tabletop: “I have a third plan. But it’s inconvenient to tell you.”
Her only purpose was to protect Junjun.
To protect Junjun, she could resort to any means, even if it meant dirtying her hands a little, it didn’t matter.
Li Cheng gritted his teeth.
Li Yufei suddenly stood up: “You don’t need to rush to give me an answer, just take your time and consider it.”
After speaking, she left the conference room without looking back.
Li Yufei returned to the office, opened her laptop, and began reviewing the new quarter’s financial report.
Half an hour later.
The secretary pushed the door open and came in.
“President Li, the person has left.”
With that, she handed a document to her: “There’s also a document that he’s taken away.”
Li Yufei understood in her heart.
It seemed that Li Cheng had made his choice.
She picked up the document, glanced at it, and then casually tossed it into the trash can: “Keep a close watch on him, and before he leaves Beijing, report any information to me in a timely manner.”
The secretary nodded: “Yes, understood.”
…
Evening.
Li Yufei left the company and went to the hospital.
As she reached the door of the ward, she unexpectedly heard Guan Yue’s voice from across the door.
Li Yufei’s hand holding the doorknob stiffened for a moment, and only after a while did she push the door open and walk in.
Inside the ward.
Du Shaoheng was sitting by the bed, while Guan Yue had prepared a basin of hot water and was washing a towel.
Upon hearing the door open behind her, Guan Yue turned around and, seeing Li Yufei, smiled immediately: “Yufei! You’re here.”
Li Yufei was somewhat surprised.
Guan Yue’s attitude towards her was somewhat different from when they had privately met before.
Before, when they met in private, Guan Yue was very sensitive, looking at her as if she were an enemy.
But now, she seemed to have let down all her defenses completely.
Li Yufei certainly felt surprised.
She looked at the basin of water by Guan Yue’s side and then looked at the towel in her hand, asking, “What are you doing?”
Guan Yue immediately replied: “Perhaps it was because the temperature suddenly dropped last night, Junjun has a bit of a fever. He just took some fever medicine and sweat a little. I’m wiping his face and body.”
After a pause, she carefully explained: “Shaoheng is not good at taking care of people. I’m afraid he might be clumsy and accidentally get the wound infected…”
Li Yufei walked to the bedside, reached out her hand, and gently touched Junjun’s forehead.
Indeed, it was slightly hot.
Li Yufei said: “He was fine yesterday.”
Guan Yue: “Yesterday the weather was good during the day, but it got colder at night. The nurse said the window wasn’t closed properly and was blown open by the wind, Junjun caught a bit of cold, but fortunately, he didn’t have a high fever.”
Li Yufei couldn’t help but feel a bit heartbroken and leaned down to ask: “Junjun, are you uncomfortable anywhere?”
Junjun shook his head and said: “I took the fever medicine, much better now.”
Only then did Li Yufei feel at ease.
She raised her head, looked at Guan Yue, and said: “Thank you for taking care of Junjun.”
Guan Yue blushed a bit and hurriedly said: “It’s just a small thing, not worth mentioning.”
She put the towel and basin away and suddenly thought of something, tentatively asking: “Yufei, do you have time now? Can we… talk privately?”
Li Yufei: “What do you want to talk with me about?”
Guan Yue came over and held Li Yufei’s hand, “I have something to say to you!”
After speaking, Guan Yue pulled her outside the door.
Li Yufei instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but was once again tightly held by her.
Guan Yue grasped her hand, her face inexplicably tense, and after pondering for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage to speak: “Yufei, about that day, I need to say ‘sorry’ to you.”
Li Yufei didn’t react for a moment: “This ‘sorry’ is a bit sudden, and a bit inexplicable. I don’t know what you’re referring to, and why you want to say ‘sorry’ to me?”
Guan Yue said: “That day, I shouldn’t have said that sentence.”
Only then did Li Yufei come to her senses, Guan Yue was apologizing for that sentence, “If you have that intention, then we’re enemies”.
Guan Yue said: “Shaoheng explained everything to me, I also deeply regret it, I shouldn’t have doubted your relationship, and I shouldn’t have suspected you were involved. Yufei, please don’t hold it against me, okay?”
Li Yufei just smiled slightly: “I won’t keep such things in mind.”
Guan Yue: “That day, when Shaoheng came back, he explained everything clearly to me. He even swore fiercely to me, saying he would never betray me, nor would he divorce me because of you! He told me that everything between him and you is in the past, that he’ll cherish me, and that I should trust him. I won’t doubt him anymore, nor will I doubt you any longer. Yufei… I feel that you’re a rather unique girl, and it just so happens, you see, our two children are also in the same class, maybe in the future, we could become really good friends.”
Li Yufei gazed into her eyes.
To her, Guan Yue seemed to be someone no more than innocent and naïve.
Because of her innocence, she said those childish words in private that day.
Because of her simplicity, she was willing to actively become friends with her—despite she being her husband’s first love.
Li Yufei couldn’t help but be curious about what kind of vehement oath Du Shaoheng had sworn to make Guan Yue believe so earnestly.
That Guan Yue would take the initiative to propose being good friends was completely unexpected for Li Yufei.
Had it been any other woman, Li Yufei would surely suspect that this woman was either being passive-aggressive or insincere.
But Guan Yue was different.
When she said those words, her eyes were full of genuine emotion, as if those words were heartfelt.
Li Yufei suddenly felt a bit envious.
Guan Yue must have been pampered since she was young, well-protected, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so defenseless towards her.
“Yufei?”
Seeing Li Yufei remain silent, Guan Yue softly called her name: “Are you unwilling? Or… because I said something I shouldn’t have that day, are you still mad at me?”
Li Yufei said: “I wouldn’t be angry with you over this matter. I was just thinking… are you and I really suited to be friends?”
